Florida Box Turtle Tactile Exhibit Replica is a durable, high-touch model designed for indoor or outdoor use in nature centers, museums, parks, and hands-on exhibits. The models are covered with a layer of resin, hand painted, and UV-sealed for long-lasting performance in busy public spaces—easy to clean, built to withstand frequent handling, and finished with biologically accurate coloration and shell detail visitors can see and feel.
Interpretively, it’s an ideal tool for exploring reptile adaptations (shell structure, scute patterns, limb shape), wetland and upland habitat connections, and life on the forest floor—including what box turtles eat and how they fit into local food webs. It also supports conservation messaging around habitat loss, road crossings, and responsible wildlife interactions, pairing seamlessly with reading rails or waysides for accessible, inclusive learning through both sight and touch.
